Our Story
AESIT® was born as the crimson leaf turned in a winter breeze beneath the brilliant cerulean, with a purpose, fueled by passion, and guided by a vision. In 1989, on a crisp fall day, our founders imagined a revolutionary advancement in future technology and its effects on business operations, personnel, and industrial real estate life cycles. (Considered were these future wheels of life converged on a synthetic digital macrocosm that is coordinate-based and brimming with spatial objects, each individually adjoined to unique datasets processing immeasurable metadata that gives rise to the finesse of contoured automation and real-time team collaboration.) They realized that if we put the needs of our employees first, they would be more productive in focusing on the needs of our business partners. Furthermore, our founders are committed to a global responsibility to help lessen industrial energy consumption and increase planetary healing. As a result, AESIT® promises to contribute long-term "sustainable progress towards safely achieving societal coexistence through a better understanding of world knowledge, energy resources, and intelligent technology usage." Underway, we embarked on this journey to achieve our mission. "Partner to automate and modernize industrial property design, development, and operations technology to drive efficiency, sustainability, and value." Our first appearance was in the Commonwealth State of Virginia, in North America.
We started in the late 1980s as an architectural engineering and construction (AEC) firm that used pencils, pens, and typewriters to create transdisciplinary designs, documentation, specifications, and blueprint drawing packages. At this time we worked on Wang PCs, an 8-bit general-purpose integrated circuit minicomputer, and Bentley's virtual address extension (VAX) 32-bit workstations. As the popularity of the World Wide Web, Intel's Pentium processor and Microsoft's PC grew, we updated and fervently helped our customers to invest as well in the new computer processing equipment. A solid base upon which the majority of digital transformations comfortably rest today. To meet the demands of clients headquartered close to our Columbia, Maryland, office, we added an information technology (IT) section to design and monitor data centers and provide help desk assistance, training, and software development. In the early 2000s, we added automation, asset management, and space management technologies. Finally, we established a land management and protection (L&P) section to assist neighborhood partners close to our Northern Virginia office with building access control, CCTV monitoring, and landscaping. Our three-tiered divisions are still in place today to serve our industrial clientele.
AESIT® is a trusted, time-tested, and proven solution provider. We practice the kaizen process of continuous improvement and depend heavily upon the principles of a lean enterprise model introduced to the world by Kiichiro Toyoda and Taiichi Ohno. When our purchasers required higher operational efficiency, we responded with innovation, customization, migration, and integration; similarly, when executives requested project oversight, compliance, and end-user support, once again, we delivered! Our understanding of the relationships between employees and employers has helped us grow to effectively support all phases of an industrial property's life cycle, from concept, design, construction, acquisition, occupancy, operation, and renovation, to demolition. Our many years of service within the commercial and government markets have taught us a thing or two! We know that the seasons will continue to change. As they do, we must continue to learn and grow. Additionally, we will ensure our business partners have the best opportunity to take advantage of emerging technology while relishing the transformative experience and maximizing operational value. Below is a list of the primary industries we've previously supported.

Today, business partners require mobile access to their data in real time. In addition, they must digitally transform their data enterprise to employ automation tools that exploit emerging anticipatory, synthesizing, and reasoning technologies such as artificial intelligence (Ai), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (iOT). Architecture Engineering Solutions and Intelligent Technologies® (AESIT®) has been enduring the changing seasons since the 1980s and has accompanied our business partners through each era's transition. AESIT® personnel are grateful to Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies that entrust us with furnishing real estate property design, development, and operational digital solutions. Onward and upward, our indulgence will endure and "evolve as we bridge the chasm between today and the autonomous digital transformation requirements of industrial real estate properties of the future."

AESIT Three-Step Business Strategy®
“Today’s tactical victory does not guarantee tomorrow’s strategic success.”
- Gen. Peter Pace, U.S. Marine, Commanding Officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Sailing a vessel is sometimes compared to a complex chess game. A master mariner must compel a crew to rigorously execute random tactics that leverage the wind to power smoothly through raging seas with absolute precision! This arduous labor requires concise communication, flexibility, and cognitive navigation to reach the intended destination.
Similarly, our strategy leverages the changing winds of people, requirements, and cultures to guide your organisation smoothly to your destination. By analyzing over three decades of lessons learned during seasons of change. We've learned that yesterday's victory may prove helpful but it does not guarantee tomorrow's success. Our strategy is organic, and pragmatic, and evolves in every aspect of our business.
Through a profoundly executed gap analysis, we discern the verity of your challenges and any interconnected obstacles before charting your best course. Preceding a thorough reexamination of your organisational assets, culture, and processes, we identify any underlying issues that could adversely affect your operational goals and objectives. Only then do we present our findings and request your approval to proceed.
Miraculously we've condensed this strategy into three fundamental phases that we've coined respectively "The AESIT Three-Step Business Strategy®," summarized below.
- Communication
- Flexibility and
- Cognitive Navigation
1. Communication.
Foremost, when communication is effective, it leaves all stakeholders satisfied with a sense of accomplishment. Our communication is clarified, transparent, and redundant. We understand the value of including all stakeholder concerns to achieve your organisational goals and objectives.
2. Flexibility.
Next, our adaptability promotes inclusiveness and is sensitive to the needs of transitioning cultures, technology resistance, and stakeholder goals. We gently remove barriers of silos that disrupt the flow of ideas so that we may reveal the best solution for your environment that minimally impedes operations.
3. Cognitive Navigation.
Finally, based on assembled intelligence, best practices, and our expert experience, we develop and implement a carefully customized course to traverse your consortium to the prescribed destination.
Customers prefer our strategy because it improves business operations, culture, and their bottom line. Experience our staff as they "raise the mainsail, pointed with the bow facing into the wind!" Using The AESIT Three-Step Business Strategy® to charter your passengers to their intended destination! Digital transformation is at the core of our service offerings!

AESIT® was contracted to participate in the remodeling of a townhome located in the historic district of Old Town Alexandria. The home had an addition built circa 1960, which was removed and replaced because the occupant desired more space. At grade level, the Architect designed an open floor plan with a living room and kitchen. The second level encompasses an expanded master bedroom with a bath and guest room. All of which included the convenience of an upstairs laundry room. The Architect and builder specialize in high quality designs.
